Comment (by ggpolo@…):

 I looked into this again and now I managed to solve the compilation
 problem. The problem is that the offending object file wmluiltok.o, which
 is generated from wmluiltok.c, may not have a main function after all
 (just like what the linker says). The file wmluiltok.c is generated by the
 flex program, which doesn't generate a main function except if the flex
 executable is actually a link to the lex binary (which generates the main
 function by default). I would think that nowadays most people moved to
 flex, but maybe it is not the case and openmotif prefers to assume lex is
 being used ?

 Anyway, the (or, better, one) solution is to prepend the file
 openmotif-2.3.3/tools/wml/wmluiltok.l with the directive %option main
